Don't know if this is ok to post here. But I thought some others might like these. I guess if its not OK, someone will remove it

Could someone photoshop this and change Firepower to Horsepower? And maybe substitute a JCW logo for whatever that thing is in the middle. Then we might have something.



It's all Craptastic, right?

They seem OK Quality, (they're Hanes T-Shirts), but I tried them on and they seem to "run a little small". I usually like my t-shirts on the loose side and a large will get that done. Tried on my large yesterday and it fits fine but feels like with a couple of washes it might be snug. Emailed the company last night, checked emails this morning and the owner said to send them back and I'll just have to pay $7.00 to have my 3 shirts exchanged and mailed back.

"for whatever that thing is in the middle"

I can help here, I believe that would be a jet airplane.

It's a B-52. Sheesh. And the JCW logo wouldn't work there because the plane is making the peace sign.

I think the idea of MINI patch would be cool though...we could even get some made. There are lots of companies that do that sort of thing.

Or how about this? A MINI challenge coin! I bet my military brothers and sisters would be on board for this. It would be perfect for events like MOTD.

Too bad I have no artistic skills whatsoever

I was thinking it was a B-52 but the engines appeared to be 4 individual engines as opposed to the twins that the 52 carries for a total of 8 engines. The sweep on the wings also seemed a bit steeper then I recall the 52 having. Now had it been a B-24 I would have been all over that.

I'm a big Liberator fan too, though for sheer bomb dropping capacity you can't beat the B-52.

Here's your aerial view:

One of the largest storage areas for old planes. Didn't they pull the SR71's out and put them back into commisison at a very large amount of money..

Those interesting aircraft appear to be Beech Starships, which Raytheon tried to buy back from all their owners. Hmmm...

I think Homeland Security is going to shut us down if we keep these spy shots going.

No the SR-71 is not an active aircraft. There are no more of them and can never be activated. All the SR-71's are now static displays only.
